The incidence of salmonellae in contrasting environments was compared in this study. Samples collected from or near surface waters in a lush hardwood forest yielded four salmonellae serotypes from six culturally positive samples. A total of 76 samples collected from the top of a granite outcropping over a 3-month period yielded 10 positive samples. Only two salmonellae serotypes were isolated, and one of these was isolated only once. The nature of the sample material had no significant effect on the detection of salmonellae from the two sampling sites. However, the presence or absence of visible moisture in the sample significantly affected the recovery of salmonellae. The results showed that even a harsh environment such as that found on top of Stone Mountain may serve as an ecological niche for the survival and transmission of salmonellae. 相似文献

The incidence of Salmonella and Edwardsiella tarda in gull feces on the Oregon coast was studied to determine the role these birds may have in the contamination of fish products with these organisms. Approximately 2.1 and 0.4% of 521 fecal specimens examined were found to contain Salmonella or E. tarda, respectively. 相似文献

The effect of water activity (aw) on the heat resistance of eight strains of Salmonella was studied. Heat resistance of the organisms increased as the aw of the heating menstruum was reduced. Sucrose afforded the cells a greater degree of protection than did fructose, glycerol, and sorbitol. A direct correlation between aw and heat resistance could not be established over the range of aw levels tested in this study. There was variation among the strains of salmonellae in the magnitude of the increase in heat resistance as the aw level was reduced. All strains of Salmonella tested showed a greater increase in heat resistance than S. senftenberg 775W as the environment became drier. Washed cells had D values 25 to 75% lower than unwashed cells. Prior growth of the organisms in media with a reduced aw increased the heat resistance of the organisms when glycerol, but not when sucrose, was the controlling substance. 相似文献

Salmonellae in health foods 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Various health food products of different brands were purchased from stores in the metropolitan Atlanta area. These foods were examined for the presence of salmonellae by fluorescent-antibody and cultural methods. Included in the study were tablets of alfalfa, parsley, kelp, wheat bran, enzyme, bone meal, and vitamins. Beef liver powder and tablets and granola cereal were also studied. Salmonella minnesota, Salmonella anatum, and Salmonella derby were isolated from two of three lots of beef liver powder from one manufacturer. All other products were negative. 相似文献

A set of phages previously isolated from poultry strains of Staphylococcus aureus was used to type such isolates from poultry before, during and after processing in a poultry plant. Certain poultry phage types were found to be associated with the live birds rather than the processed carcases. Strains lysed by phages from this group may represent a specific 'poultry'biotype. A site of cross-contamination within the plant was discovered. 相似文献

The program COST Action 847 Textile Quality and Biotechnology (2000–2005) has given an excellent chance to review the possibilities of the research, aiming at development of the industrial application of enzymes for bast fibrous plant degumming and primary processing. The recent advancements in enzymatic processing of bast fibrous plants (flax, hemp, jute, ramie and alike plants) and related textiles are given. The performance of enzymes in degumming, modification of bast fibres, roving, yarn, related fabrics as well as enzymatic bonding of lignocellulosic composites is provided. 相似文献

A prospective cohort study was performed to evaluate the prevalences and loads of Salmonella and Campylobacter spp. in farm and processing plant samples collected from 55 commercial broiler chicken flocks. Environmental samples were collected from broiler houses within 48 h before slaughter, and carcass rinses were performed on birds from the same flocks at 4 different stages of processing. Salmonella was detected in farm samples of 50 (90.9%) flocks and in processing samples of 52 (94.5%) flocks. Campylobacter was detected in farm samples of 35 (63.6%) flocks and in processing samples of 48 (87.3%) flocks. There was a significant positive relationship between environmental farm samples and processing plant carcass rinses with respect to both Salmonella and Campylobacter prevalences and loads. Campylobacter loads were significantly higher than Salmonella loads, and the correlations between samples collected from the same flocks were higher for Campylobacter than they were for Salmonella. Boot socks were the most sensitive sample type for detection of Salmonella on the farm, whereas litter samples had the strongest association with Salmonella loads in pre- and postchill carcass rinses. Boot socks, drag swabs, and fecal samples all had similar sensitivities for detecting Campylobacter on the farm, and all were more strongly associated with Campylobacter loads in carcass rinses than were litter samples. Farm samples explained a greater proportion of the variability in carcass rinse prevalences and loads for Campylobacter than they did for Salmonella. Salmonella and Campylobacter prevalences and loads both decreased significantly as birds progressed through the processing plant. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that Menhaden fish meal, a common ingredient of animal feeds, is frequently contaminated with salmonellae. Animals that eat contaminated feed may become infected. If they, in turn, are eaten by humans, they may be a means by which salmonellae are introduced into the human population. Epidemiological studies of the fish-meal industry were carried out to determine the sources of salmonellae in fish meal and the factors affecting the persistence and survival of salmonellae during the processing of fish meal. Examination of 190 fish immediately after they came from the Gulf of Mexico revealed no salmonellae, but salmonellae were frequently isolated from samples of fish taken from the boats when they arrived at the plants. Salmonellae were also frequently isolated from dockside water at each of the plants. Approximately 50% of the samples taken in the raw fish processing areas were contaminated with salmonellae. The percentage of samples yielding salmonellae decreased progressively through the various sequences of processing, but more than 15% of the samples taken from the finished products were also positive. Salmonellae were isolated from the raw area of the plant most frequently while the plant was operating and less frequently when the plant was idle, whereas in the processing area of the plant the reverse was true. Salmonellae appeared to survive and multiply in the processing area of the plant while the plant was idle, which resulted in contamination of the first portion of each day's production. Salmonellae in the processed fish meal were reduced to nondetectable levels by reprocessing the first 45 min of each day's production. 相似文献

A model for the growth of plants is proposed. It extends theconcept of thermal time to include the effects of photosyntheticallyactive radiation and carbon dioxide concentration in a formulathat is analogous to the rate of flow through a set of conductancesin series. The formula transforms time periods of differingor varying environmental conditions to a consistent plant-relatedbasis. The integrated plant environmental time is used in theexpolinear equation of Gourdriaan and Monteith (1990) to providea simple dynamic model for the growth of mutually shading plantsin a uniform canopy of an even-aged monoculture. The model is fitted to data from lettuce and cauliflower. Eachhad been grown, in a glasshouse, at four different times ofyear and at four densities. The plant environmental time relationallows for the different conditions of temperatures and light,and the expolinear equation then predicts the set of growthcurves at the different densities. Parameters values differbetween the species, as would the predicted values of environmentaltime. An improved fit is obtained by using the mutual shading relationto modify the radiation term only, rather than the whole environmentalgrowth rate expression. Most of the observed results differby less than one day in time from the fitted values. Corroborationfor the model is provided by values of an effective leaf arearatio, estimated from the effects of plant density and plantweight upon competition for radiation.Copyright 1993, 1999 AcademicPress Growth, model, temperature, PAR, carbon dioxide, plant environmental time, density, expolinear, monocrop, competition, lettuce, cauliflower 相似文献
